Palaniswami announced that it would be turned into a Memorial. Work for this purpose had already started with Revenue officials headed by the Collector inspecting the 'site' on 30th December.
"After acquiring the site, work on converting the residence into a Memorial would commence in right earnest,"he said and added that the income-tax raids at the former chief-minister's residence may not affect their work."We didn't open the rooms sealed by the income-tax department," he added further.
